The Truth About The Clitoris :: Free Podcast Episode

Think you know the truth about the clitoris? Think again. In this episode you’ll find out about the full female pleasure anatomy – from the internal clitoris (it’s about the same size as the penis!) to the urethral sponge and the other major components of the female pleasure system. Get to know it and unleash way more pleasure – for yourself or your lover!

This episode features information from both Rebecca Chalker’s The Clitoral Truth and Sheri Winston’s Women’s Anatomy of Arousal.

Much of what we know about female sexual anatomy was pioneered by the Federation of Feminist Women’s Health Centers and their amazing book A New View of a Woman’s Body

We also share a portion from Sheri Winston’s blog, which you can find by clicking here.

Neither of these images includes the perineal sponge that is located between the vaginal opening and the anal area. These images also do not show the urethral sponge that surround the urethra. Finding images that show the full detail of the female erectile tissue is challenging, as these areas are often ignored! Sheri Winston’s book has great images. We will keep trying to find complete images we can share here!

Nipple Play

Nipple Play: How To: Free Podcast Episode The breasts have a high concentration of nerve endings, especially in the nipples. The underside of the nipple has the densest concentration of nerve endings in the entire breast. During arousal, the breasts swell and become more sensitive, and nipples may harden and in some cases grow substantially in size. When fully aroused, some women find that the nipples are so sensitive that even small touches can feel quite intense.

Why Does Nipple Play Feel So Tricky?

Many women experience a spectrum of sensitivity that can change dramatically. Breast sensitivity may change year to year (many women report an increase of sensitivity late in their 20’s and into mid-life), week to week (most women report more sensitive breasts during ovulation and menstruation), and even moment to moment, depending on stimulation, arousal, and even temperature.

To maximize the pleasure potential of the breasts, a woman and her lover must pay attention to the cycles of sensitivity and learn how to respond and adjust nipple play according to just how sensitive they are feeling in any given moment. This kind of awareness is a useful skill to become a better lover overall, and there is no better place to develop this skill than with sensual breast massage. The breasts are a central part of sexual anatomy, and nipple play offers big potential for spiking a woman’s arousal.

Nipple Play Golden Rules

Start with broad, relaxing touch. Touch the entire chest area and her whole body before starting nipple play!
When it comes to nipple play, sometimes less is more. Start with gentle pressure and slowly increase pressure and intensity.
Never go right for the nipple, as tempting as it is. Nipple play is all about building anticipation by approaching the skin around the nipple, then backing away. Tease it out!
Use your fingertips, fingers, lips and tongue to explore nipple play. There is no end to the nuances of sensation you can create. We show you all of our proven techniques in the Foreplay Mastery Course.

Prostate

What Is The Prostate?

The prostate is a gland, located just below the bladder and sheathed in the musculature of the pelvic floor, the same muscles that contract during orgasm and ejaculation. The urethra runs from the bladder, directly through the prostate gland and out through the penis. The prostate gland plays a central role in the male sexual system. Within the gland, tiny ducts called acini produce prostatic fluid. This fluid mixes with sperm and fluid from the seminal vesicles to become the male ejaculate.

What Does The Prostate Have To Do With Sex?

The prostate is part of the male sexual system. It was active and involved in every ejaculation you have ever had up to this point, you just may not have been aware of it!

The contractions you feel just before ejaculation, when the muscles deep in your pelvis tense and relax spontaneously, activate the prostate and squeeze fluid from the prostate into the urethra. So the prostate is already part of your sexual experience – by stimulating it directly you are just accessing more pleasure and sensation from this important part of your sexual anatomy.

Some men enjoy direct stimulation of their prostate as a sex act – prostate massage and external prostate stimulation are highly pleasurable acts that men of any orientation can enjoy. Many men who love prostate massage report that they experience more powerful orgasms and more satisfying sex when they include prostate stimulation.

Why Does Prostate Stimulation Feel Good? What Are Prostate Orgasms All About?

Prostate massage and anal play activate a huge part of the male sexual system. First, you ignite all of the nerve endings of the external anal area, which are directly tapped into your arousal system. With internal stimulation you can reach the prostate and the internal root of the penis – which many guys report “makes their cock feel twice as big!”

Does Anal Play Make You Gay?

A lot of straight guys are super interested in anal play and prostate massage – with good reason! These regions are part of EVERY sexual system. What you do in your sex life doesn’t make you straight or gay. Sexual activity (what you do) is not the same as sexual orientation (who you do it with). Straight men all over the world are discovering the power of prostate orgasms – are you next?
